i can see some FF parallelisms --- confident hot girl, neighbors, college, making a pass at the new-lesbian with short hair, being gay is not an issue in asia, to name a few.
Well I don't know about the being gay isn't an issue in asia, since in FF they haven't really addressed it I think. Heck, they just recently realized their feelings. And for this, i don't know it seems like Thai is somewhat cool with homosexuality because of tv shows like Hormones and Love Sick (maybe?)
